Performance

Who is responsible
for performance?
You need a
performance culture
Changing culture
is hard
One weird trick
Etsy -2years
What we had
What we wanted
Weather report
Choosing metrics
Key pages
95th percentile backend
Weekday
or whatever...
Keep it simple
You can change it later
You can change it later
You will change it later
Get your tools
in place
Can you measure it?
Repeatable?
Woah, embarrassing
It's not as private
as you might think
This motivates your
team to get better
Consider your
audience(s)
Community
Engineering Team
Velocity
Woah, embarrassing
Numbers are boring
Graphs are awesome
Celebrate wins
Performance is invisible
Ongoing context
Context for regressions
Iterate
Graphs are awesome
What's next
One weird trick
Take the long view
A note about privilege
"I love, love, love the latest
performance report -- the
report itself, not just the
great numbers."
- Etsy CEO Chad Dickerson
Tell them I said
it is all good.
Now, you share
